Microsaccades in normal vision and in glaucoma and its treatment with eye movement training

Microsaccades are fast, jerk-like eye movements that happen once or twice per second. They are profoundly involved in visual perception. Microsaccades show also high clinical relevance e.g. alterations of microsaccades can cause symptoms such as diplopia, reduced visual acuity and blurred vision, which are reported in a series of ophthalmological and neurological diseases. The study addresses if microsaccade and microsaccade-related potentials are stable in normal aging. This explores the usefulness of microsaccades as a potential biomarker to monitor and better understand di erent diseases with oculomotor symptoms.
